Apple To Open Its 1st India Retail Store Right Here In Mumbai!

While we are a big of saying “Winter is coming” every now and then. We would like to say it again in the context of Apple – Apple is coming, to India, with its very first retail store. And, it is going to be right here in Mumbai. Yep!

Apple Inc wants to tap into the fastest-growing smartphone market, i.e India. And it has full plans to foray into the country with its very first retail store. They have been scouting for locations in Mumbai, and have narrowed it down to a few places. Not only that, the new retail store will be as grand and iconic as the ones in New York’s Fifth Avenue or London’s Regent Street. * woah *

So far, Apple couldn’t open a store, here in India, because it was prohibited in doing so as it doesn’t meet the local sourcing requirements. But Apple is planning to shift its manufacturing units here and is already talking about its retail expansion with the government.

When manufacturing moves to India, it will not only give Apple a foothold in the markets here, but it will also mean that the prices might just go down. Anyway, Apple products are heavily discounted these days. Let’s see when they come here, what more is in “store” for us, (see what we did there? *winks*).
